District 1 is now the Southeast Community Organization!
Our district council has a new name! The Southeast Community Organization is your connection to city and county officials. We guide you to local government resources and keep you informed of issues that arise in our neighborhoods. In collaboration with community members in our district, we address issues around business development, the environment, parks, transportation, safety, housing and other matters. We work with you to help you build relationships with your neighbors and create the kind of community you would like to see.

Proposed By-Law Changes Recent pandemic issues have required changes in how SECO does business. Instead of holding our annual meetings and elections this year, we have postponed our annual meetings indefinitely We held elections on-line through a Google platform. This allowed us to keep moving forward in our work; allowing retiring board members to move on, and bringing new members up to speed. We are reviewing changes to the by-laws (our rules of operation) to accommodate these activities and make an allowance for any sort of possible emergency in the future. The following language is in draft form, and is meant to provide an overview:
Road Narrowing on McKnightThis summer, the county will be narrowing McKnight Road as a means of reducing speeds and increasing safety for pedestrians. In our community, this narrowing will take place between Burns Avenue and Pond Avenue, which is just south of Londin Lane on the Maplewood side.Read more on our News page. If you have questions, please contact the project lead Khamsai Yang at 651/266-7157 or Khamsai.Yang@ramseycounty.mn.us. |

Shop an assortment of t-shirts, water bottles and sweatshirts on Redbubble! Time to step up your community pride! How Do You Want to Be Honored? The District Councils have historically held an annual after-work event (Neighborhood Honor Roll) to honor community members on activities they have done that go "above and beyond" in our districts! This has been a structured event at the University of St. Thomas where award-winners have been honored by city staff and council members. We're taking time to explore the ways that residents want to be recognized and celebrated in the communities where they do so much. Please take a moment to respond to the survey below. This will help us gain an understanding of what our residents appreciate. Thank you!
